30 minutes, max. SE is obviously blessed with very talented game designers & artists - and the absolute worst network engineers in the business. If companies with a track record of actually making decent MMO's (aka not SE) HAVE to have an auto boot system, I'm not sure why these impotent jokers think they don't. Or are they so talented and successful that they thought they'd found a better solution? LOL

[KazyDogg]

I just think we need to keep this concept going. I know a lot of these threads putter out as people are able to get in and on. I have finally gotten back in but I would like to see something like this implemented.

So when you do get back in or just in contact with those that you play with have them come and bump / like this thread so SE can see the support and desire to reduce the amount of players AFK wasting space.

Oh yea when I did get in the queue system was back up that releases some of the disgruntle customer feeling. But lets still push to end the AFK trend

I say 30 mins or an hour AFK and they get the boot, the old discolored smelly boot. Drop these "I log in and then go party at the beach for five hours" types to the desktop so others can play. Instead of giving the finger to those trying to log in(without any queues), kick the buttheads who are idle. I played for a little while earlier after getting home from work and had to shut down my PC due to a bad thunderstorm, no luck getting back in, just 1017.

Defiantly should have at least a 30 minute limit!

[MynxLynx]

Don't let this issue die. If they are going to restrict the number of players who can log into the servers then they need to make sure those who are logged in are not idle for endless hours.

[Alavastre]

It's more than just a problem of people being able to log in.

I went around and grinded without the duty finder to the point where I could open a Free Company with friends. We started it, signed some people up, and now I'm locked out. How can I run a FC without being in the game? This problem will hurt the set up communities which are a huge deal for starting MMO's. Out of 7 people I know who are part of this game, only 1 got to play yesterday.

The 1 that doesn't have a job. Win.

SIGNED Couldn't play all day yesterday! Server is full (of AFKers)

The fact that people are consigning themselves to the point where this is an option shows how terrible the primary problem is. Booting afk people will not even put a dent in server stress considering the fact they have had to continue to lessen the amount of concurrent users several times. This would be a short term and largely ineffective solution.

They can't service the amount of people they have now.....and it appears they are not even close. And when launch comes the general population will double. Kicking afk people won't make up for that kind of influx. The only long term solution is in hardware, not game features. I can't believe they messed up this badly after 1.0 nearly sunk their company.

1 game isn't going to sink SE lol....

I will sign. My thought is that if log in is being restricted due to the number of people on the server, there should be an Idle timer to kick off the people AFK to let someone else on to play, who has been trying to log in. I spent 4 hours straight trying to log on until I finally was successful yesterday. That is a larger part of my weekend play. When I finally got on and ran through the different towns for my lvl 15 story quest, I saw many many people just standing around AFK. It look like more people were AFK then were actually playing. Believe me, I was very very angry at this because I was not able to log in because these selfish people were taking the spot from me. Please set an AFK timer. Let them log back in when they are ready to play. Many people were laughing at the ones trying to log in saying to us "That's why I just go AFK, so I don't have to log in".
